After splitting from his longtime partner Vanessa Paradis, Johnny Depp is focusing on a very important role: fatherhood. In a new interview with CBS' This Morning, the 50-year-old actor opens up about how his children -- Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11 -- are coping with their parents' breakup.

In an unusually candid interview in the July 4 issue of Rolling Stone, Depp also shared that he himself was handling the breakup well. "I definitely wasn't going to rely on the drink to ease things or cushion the blow," he told the magazine. "I felt it was my duty to be real clear throughout that. I had something pretty serious to focus on, really, which was making sure that my kids were gonna be cool."

But Depp has also been focusing some of energy on girlfriend Amber Heard. The Rum Diary actor took his relationship with his costar public shortly after announcing his split from Paradis. A source tells Us Weekly, however, that Depp is "not ready" to introduce Heard to his children.
